An Award, a Meme, and some Random Stuff.

Random Stuff first.

*A very good friend of mine from high school found me on Facebook. Since I last saw him, he and his wife had a little girl. We'll call her Cutie. In the "Favorite Quotes" section on his Facebook profile it says: "Daddy." by Cutie.
How sweet is that?! I love it.
*One of my favorite blogs is missing! Does anyone know where Groovy Mom went? =(
*If you have never checked out Stretch Marks, please, run do that now. She is an amazing writer, and she's going through a very tough time right now. I challenge you to read today's post on Stretch Marks and not cry. I challenge you!
*My husband is working insane hours this week. He goes in at 7am and works until at least 10pm. Since I work nights, I literally have not seen him since Monday. I'm totally not used to this; other than every August when he works these crazy hours, we are together all.the.time. But I'm trying to put on my big girl panties and deal with it.
Anyway, tonight he left work a little early planning to surprise me and get home just before I left for work. But I didn't know, and I left a little early for work.
We just missed each other. (sigh)
*When hubby did get home, our 12 year old foster dog was eating the crayons I got for the Princess for school.
Look forward to rainbow-colored poop pics to follow!
(kidding, I won't subject you to that)
*There's an update about the foster dog I mentioned in this post at www.daretorescue.com.
